bevelpunt

Bevelpunt is a term used in Dutch technical language to denote the point or location where a bevel, i.e., a surface cut at an angle relative to an adjacent face, begins or ends on a workpiece. In practice, a bevel is specified by its angle and depth; the bevelpunt provides the positional reference on the edge or surface where the bevel terminates or is applied. The concept is common in engineering drawings, carpentry, and metalworking, where bevels and chamfers are used to remove sharp edges, aid assembly, or prepare surfaces for finishing.

In drawings, the bevelpunt may correspond to a measured distance from a reference edge or corner, such as “bevelpunt at 2.0 mm from the edge with a 45-degree bevel.” It can also be used to describe the end point of a bevel along complex edges or fillets. The term helps ensure that manufacturing tolerances and assembly requirements are met, especially when multiple parts must fit together smoothly.

Usage and variation: The term is primarily used in Dutch-speaking contexts and may be translated as bevel point or chamfer point in English, though “bevel” and “chamfer” describe related but distinct features. The exact definition and conventions for marking a bevelpunt can vary by industry, company standard, or drawing practice, so specifications should reference the applicable engineering documentation to avoid ambiguity.
